[APP] Official ViPER4Android Audio Effects (FX v2.5.0.5) - New Features & 7.0 Support
- Thread starter zhuhang
- Start date
Joe0Bloggs, I found something on doctorproaudio site (my links are blocked by xda).
Most hard to understand for me is Inflection Point Gain and Adaptation. Sure, I see this options in ViPER4Windows. But, some questions still here)
I think, that function, named by ViPER520 as Adaptation, is the same, that described on link as:
"Hold time. Specifies the minimum time that a compressor or gate will process the signal for."
E. g., big Adaptation will reduce CPU load && decrease the precision of compressor.
I have no idea about Inflection Point Gain, how the sound will be changed, and how it work mathematically.
I managed to install it. LOL.
Flash the latest zip from [MENTION=3875175]guitartdedhero. then using root explorer, go to
/vendor/etc/
Look for audio_effects.conf and rename it to audio_effects.conf.bak
Launch Viper and install driver. It will take some time but wait it out. If Android says its taking to long, just choose Wait and installation should push through.

I have a problem. The app say me that busibox doesn't work, , but it is installed. I have unistalled the "old" files of busibox and reinstalled them, but the app still say that.
I have s3 neo with CM 12.1 official. Not supersu.

That did the trick! Thanks! I've been fighting with v4a flashing different zips trying to get it to work all day.
Interesting.... will give it a try...
But do you have SElinux enforcing too?
I didn't disable it intentionally. I'm on stock rooted nougat.
As far as I know it's enforcing, but it's not in settings>about phone, so I don't know how to check.

I'm loving the new update but I can't seem to get the hang of the new eq. With the old UI you could see the entire eq but with the new one you have to scroll to the right. This is causing me to adjust frequencies by accident. This goes for the presets too, I liked that you could see all the presets and easily pick one without having to hear another one along the way. Am I missing something? I really enjoy how easy it is to fine tune the sliders, I just wish I could see all the sliders at the same time.
You can check by typing the following into Android Terminal and tapping Enter:
getenforce
I've got weird problem, I owe a Oneplus3 with stock oxygen os 3.2.4 and after installing Viper4androidFX 2.4.0.1, I can equalize on earphones, but after connecting Bluetooth audio in Mercedes Benz cars(c220,e250,cla200,gla200,s600,glc300,ml350,gl350). The 6gb ram phones audio player (poweramp, play music ) starts to hang and cannot play music at all. Even after uninstalling drivers and removing viper. Anyone with same issue or fix? @zhuhang
Confirming this works for Stock Nougat (Nexus 5X).
Besides flashing guitardedhero's zip file and setting SELinux to permissive, renaming audio_effects.conf was the only thing left to allow the drivers to install and prevent that I/O error showing up again

Can anyone help figure out why my profiles disappear? They save just fine but then after awhile it's like they just disappear. Would really like to be able to use new version but hate having to redo profiles. I'm on Sprint Galaxy Note 5 running MOAR 4.2 with permissive kernel.

It's when I clear the unneeded data using smart manager is when it clears my profiles. Is there anyway to exclude certain things when using smart manager on samsung phones?

Now i got diff error... though i have busybox and supersu.
But it makes me think this is something to do with systemless supersu?

ViPER4Android FX
FX is the main control panel of ViPER’s Audio with all popular ViPER’s Audio settings.

XHiFi has less settings compare to FX. It has superior audio reconstruction which mainly used for restoring lossy audio quality.
FX Key Features
★ NEW: FET Compressor ★
New compressor / limiter simulating operation of FET circuits.
★ NEW: Quad-Channel Convolver ★
IRS support extends to 4-channels. *Requires special IRS files*
★ AnalogX ★
Richer and warmer sound by simulating the sound signature of pure class A amplifier. *v2.4.x and above+*
★ ViPER-DDC (Now Cuztomizable!) ★
Enjoy near HIFI sound on your headphones. *Not all models supported*
★ Spectrum Extension ★
Make your music sound lossless with enhanced high frequencies.
★ x86 Platform Support ★
Viper4Android supports x86 (Atom/Core i3/i5/i7) platforms.
★ USB/Dock effect Support ★
ViPER4Android supports USB/Dock audio output.
★ Speaker Optimization ★
First effect for speakers. Try it yourself.
★ Channel Pan ★
Controls left/right channel output. Its not very useful unless your headphone is imbalance or faulty one side. It will be a cure for you.
★ Differential Surround / Haas Effect ★
This is an old feature which ViPER520 had removed from FX in early days.
But after many users requesting it, ViPER520 bring it back to FX
More info on Haas Effect: http://www.mixcoach.com/creating-depth-the-haas-effect-2/
★ ViPER Fidelity Control ★
★ ViPER Bass ★
With different bass modes, you can have greater bass experience than before!
★ ViPER Clarity ★
With the latest Clarity mode selection, you can balance up heavy bass with high clarity audio that you can never imagine before!
★ Headphone Surround+ (VHS+) ★
With this VHS+, V4A made its way to achieve great surround technologies for Android.
★ Auditory System Protection (Cure Tech+) ★
With normal audio system, listening for more than three hours will feel fatigue, dizzy, tinnitus, irritated and other symptoms.
This is a normal reaction, heavy bass and high volume could cause permanent damage to the human auditory system, but other phenomena can restore through resting.
Viper as a listening experience professional will not ignore this problem. Therefore put a lot of effort to study how to make a "Healing" sound technology, just a small success. But thinking on how to let users experience it.
★ Convolver ★
When an Impulse Response Sample(IRS) is loaded, V4A will process the sound to show the same characteristics of the loaded sample. Through Convolution, samples with effects such as equalizer, surround, reverberation, tube etc can be loaded.
Download and extract IRS files to <storage>/ViPER4Android/Kernel/<paste files here>
★ FX Compatible Mode (Only in 4.x) ★
Compatible Mode supports large variety of music players and the players' own EQ/sound effects (system-provided/third party)
Therefore, you don't have to select V4A in Sound Settings > Music Effects, choose anything other than V4A. Just run V4A app and the effects will be working with anything else.
1. In option, switch to Compatible Mode. Reboot, done.
2. In Sound Settings > Music Effects, choose other than V4A.
3. Run V4A app and configure the settings then the effects will work together with the one you chose in Sound Settings.
